The story

Eighty percent wool certified to the Responsible Wool Standard, twenty percent recycled nylon. The nylon earns its place: it adds the recovery that keeps a cuff and a hem in shape wash after wash. We knit it at 7 gauge on a single end for the half cardigans and at 5 gauge on two ends where the piece needs weight, plus a flecked yarn that is pre-twisted before it is knitted. It goes in the machine at 20°C. Wool pills where it rubs, which is the fibre working rather than failing, and a fabric comb or lint remover takes care of it.

Why choose it

For knitwear you want to wear weekly and wash at home, not twice a season.

01

Certified to RWS

The Responsible Wool Standard covers how the sheep are kept, not only the fibre that comes off them.

02

Recycled nylon for recovery

Twenty percent recycled nylon keeps the cuffs and hem from going slack.

03

Home wash at 20°C

A wool cycle and a wash bag. No dry cleaner in the routine.

What you pay for

Parker Poloshirt: €149 here. €229 average market price.

Average market price is what a comparable piece costs from a brand that sells through other people's shops: department stores and multi-brand retailers. That price has to carry the brand's margin and the shop's margin, stacked. Ours carries one.

Margin is not profit. It goes to getting the piece to your door: shipping, returns, the warehouse. Then to running No Label: the team, the stores, the fit sessions, the photography. What is left goes into next season's fabric. On sale pieces there is often nothing left at all, because overstock is money sitting in a warehouse and we would rather it moved than marked up.
